Are out practicing today. Might see their return this weekend. Looking likely.
Blackmon as well.

I don't know, Zaire seems to hit anything that moves.

I see Zaire leads the league (along with Roquon Smith) in tackles at 66.

Leonard has regressed a lot...especially playing Mike...he is not the same impact player we have become used to.

He would have the lead if they counted Leonard

I'll be surprised if Leonard plays. His nose was broken so badly he needed surgery. We'll see.

He missed the preaseason. He finally gets close to normal and get a serious head injury to friendly fire.
Yeah, he’s not what he was…….yet.

If Shaq does play, I'm sure it will be with a different face mask and or perhaps a shield.

I don't have much regard for Darius Leonard any more.
He has had crappy karma ever since he decided to change his name.
The existing linebackers have settled in to Brady's system quite well...he probably won't add much.
We should get what we can for him if anyone will take his dumb contract.

If it wasn't for bad takes they wouldn't have any at all.

I never got banned because, in the few times I visited, the place disgusted me so much I never felt the need to post anything there.

If they both are full go today…. I’d say they’re playing
I hope Maniac comes out in a new face mask, dark visor, and has 2 defensive TDs

Young as I feel.

I already commented that since he's changed his name he hasn't done shit for us! :D

There are 10 games after the Titans this week.
Reich said he's medically cleared. But he had only just returned when he was injured again and now he's had another 2+ weeks of inactivity. He'll be alright.

There is some. We're 3-2-1 largely due to our defense that hasn't had him.
So you might think we don't really need him to be good enough. What you're weighing is the value you could get for him vs. what this defense is missing without him.
His coverage from the LB spot is a tough thing for a guy like Franklin replicate, as well as he's played. And the turnovers he's produced are unlike any player in the entire league, which is an element we're missing on D so far.

To me this proves that it was a mistake to to give him 20 million a year. He is a great player but he isn't worth that kind of money at that position. Team would be better off with the linebackers we currently are playing, spent the extra money/draft picks we would have gotten for him in a trade elsewhere (god knows we could use them on the offensive line for sure). Plenty of people at the time felt that no player at his position is worth that amount, I believe they were correct.

The way Grover and Buckner are playing Leonard should be able to patrol the middle of the field freely in both the passing game and come downhill on the run. Not to mention the way he covers sideline to sideline on screen passes and stretch runs
I feel like he’s gonna boost an already good defense

Exactly, I believe Shaq, last season had the most forced turnovers (12) since Charles "Peanut" Tillman" had 13 in 2012.
You can't replace that You just can't. I'm here to tell you that I respect the hell out of Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speeds play, but even they would tell you that they can't do that.

Yup. We have a competent replacement in there now and the defense is effective. Zaire is doing a good job and makes tackles, not terrible in coverage either. But Shaq takes it to another level. He is a turnover-generating machine. That is so valuable in today's NFL. Where an extra possession can give you the game bc so many games are decided by the kicker at the end.

Yep, not sure where all this IR him or trade him garbage is coming from. Shaq is a difference maker. He did want to play against the Tits, but the coaches are holding him out for another week to make sure he heals up completely.

Not at all. If there was a team willing to trade a better than average left tackle for him, I'd do it. It would improve the offense, without compromising what the defense has already been this year. In addition, it would trim the payroll. All at the cost of what Shaq might add to the defenses already top-10 play.
BUT, no one would trade a good LT for him and his contract (unless his name is Jerry Jones). And we know that extra cap room won't be used to sign a top-shelf FA in the off-season.
Agnes! Get the Cowboys on line one!

That's an interesting thought, but I think both sides say no to Tyron Smith for Shaq Leonard. From the Colts perspective, they're getting older and more expensive. From the Cowboys perspective, they're losing a top 10 LT off of a contending team.
Unfortunately the best team to get a LT from would be the Texans, but there's no chance they'd trade us Tunsil, even for Leonard.
